Shot While in Court.

A special from Omaha says that
some days ago DIR. G. w. Randall and wife
of Hastings were arrested on the charge of
having outraged an eleven-year-old girl, a
patient of the Doctors, who was assisted
in accomplishing his purpose by his wife.
That afternoon at the County Courtroom in
Hastings, when the evidence was all in
and the Judge was preparing the bail-bond,
an unknown man entered the courtroom,
drew revolver and shot Mr.. Randall
through the head, killing him instantly.
The man who did the shooting made his
escape amid the most intense excitement
The evidence of the little girl was of such
nature as to leave no doubt in the minds
of those who heard it as to the guilt of the
accused doctor and his wife. The evidence
showed that Mrs. Randall assisted her hus-
band in making the assault upon the little
girl, who is the daughter of Marion Hart, of
Edgar. She was being treated for some
ailment at the residence of DIR. Randall.
At the last accounts tonight from Hast
ings the excitement was running wild and
Il was feared that the crowd would lynch
Mrs. Randall. DR.. Randall was quack
doctor Of bad reputation.

Celebrating the Emperor's Birthday.

BERLIN, March 21.-This evening
between 5000 and 1900 students bearing
flags, 5anners and torches formed in pro-
cession marched to the palace. The line
extended from the palace to the Opera
House and when the procession arrived at
the palace, the emperor and empress APP
peared at the second window on the ground
floor. President Muenck of the students
committee, rode up to the window. Their
niajest;es, with the Grand Duchess of Ba-
den, rose and bowed. Muenck called for
cheers for the emperor, for the victorious
commander in glorious battle, for the be-
loved father of his country, for the author
of the union of the German races, for the
defender of the frontiers of the empire, for
the guardian of the peace of the world.
The applause was tremendous, followed
by the singing of the national anthem. The
emperor remained standing and bowling
with evident qualification.
The procession then marched past the
palace. The whole scene was most brilliant
The students cheered loudly at Bis
marck's palace where the Chancellor, Count
Herbert Bismarck and Count Rantzen were
waiting the procession. In response to
calls of the students Bismarck opened a
window and bowed his thanks A similar
ovation was rendered Won NIoltke at the
offices of the Generals staff.
The whole affair was conducted in the
most orderly manner and during the pro-
cession the Emperor called up several stu
dents to express his qualification at their
manner of congratulating him. He said he
rejoiced in the spirit displayed by them.
He expected much from the Academy from
the youth of Germany, as circumstances
and times were serious. After referring
to the dissolution of the Reichstag he ques-
toned many students separately as regard
ing their birthplace, the studies they pur-
sued, the number of terms they had COM
pleted, the corporation in which they be-
longed. The Empress also expressed her
thanks for the ovation.

The Missouri Flood,

BISMARCK, Dakota, March 90
The Missouri river has raised one foot here
to-day. The speed of the current is ter
rifle, and the situation generally grows
worse. The rise is equal to twenty feet in
the Upper River, the water here being
spread over six miles of country. Six
inches of snow fell yesterday and this will
add to the flood as soon as the weather
grows W armer again.
The Heroes of the day are the members of
the re scuing party who went into the low
lands yesterday and saved the lives of seven
perse ms who were perched on the tops of
their houses and in the trees. Dispatches
fro' n Fort Lincoln say people can be seen
sta nding on the haystacks and in the trees,
an d if they are NOT soon rescued they will
p irish in the flood.
Many claim that the country opposite the
Fo-t contains many inhabitants who are
still in great danger. The same reports
come from painted Woods. The report is
4 denied that Superintendent Graham of the
Northern Pacific has been drowned. He
| attempted to come to Bismarck on Tuesday
evening but failed.
| The Sibley Island gorge remains firm,
and if the present state of affairs continues
week permanent channel will be cut
across two miles east of the old bed of the
Missouri. Huge cakes of ice are coming
down the river and landing on the meadow
land of the settlers.
1t is impossible now to repair the North
! ern Pacific trestle on account OF the float
ing ice.
/ The terrific rapidity of the rise of the
river at Painted Woods is indicated by the
experience of two families, who saw the
flood in the distance and attempted to pack
up their household goods preparatory to
moving back from the stream to the buttes
The houses were situated on the highest
point of the lowland, and before these fam
lilies were ready to start the water was with
in six feet of their houses. There were five
children in the party and before the buttes
could be reached the flood overlook them
and the last part of the journey was made
through three feet of water. One of the
children narrowly escaped drowning.
Another train load of Eastern passengers
arrived to-day and will be compelled to re-
main here until it is possible to cross the
Missouri. 1t is believed that the Northern
Pacific Company may be able to establish a
transfer line of boats tomorrow.

The Presidents Health,

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Dr. Z. T,
Sewers, one of the most prominent physi-
clans in Washington, in an interview with
a reporter to-day, declared that there is dan
ger that President Cleveland will not live
through his term unless there is change in
his living. DIR. Sewers six months before
Mr.. Manning's illness made the same pre-
diction with regard to the Secretary, and
advised friend to warn him of his dan
ger.
In the interview to-day DR.. Sewers says
1T may be deemed impertinent to talk to
the President through the newspaper men,
but know Of no other way of reaching him
and those about him SO surely. You recall
my attempts with the friends of Mr.. Man
ming and their fruits? l do not feel that
1 should take the same chances in this
matter
II am personally appraised of the Presi-
dents condition, and while it is in no sense
dangerous, it will not be long before there
will be reason for alarm. President Cleve-
land is large fieshy man, and since he
came to the White House he has gained
enormously in flesh. Now, when he lived
in Buffalo it was his habit to take long
walks; since he came here, however, he
has abandoned every form Of exercise save
carriage riding, and that is of little or no
use with the springs now in use and the
smooth streets for which Washington is
famous.

his head great deal; he is in fact an in
tense brain-worker. He is in other words a
plodder, and his brain is constantly filled

WARRINGTON, March 22.-The Pres
ident has appointed the following Inter
State Commissioners: Thomas NJ. Cooley
of Michigan for the term of six years, Will
liam r. Morrison of Illinois for the term OF
five years, Augustus Shoemaker Of New
York for the term of four years, Aldace +.
Walker of Vermont for the term Of three
years and Walter L. Bragg Of Alabama for
the term of two years.
The fact that Mr.. Cooley's name heads
the list does not necessarily indicate that
he will be Chairman OF the Commission. a.
1t must elect its own chairman. Judge
Cooley was recently appointed by Judge
Gresham q receiver Of the Wabash railroad.
Aldace F. Walker is Vermont lawyer
about A years old, q Republican in politics,
who studied law with Senator Edmunds. He
served as Colonel in the Union Army and
has since then practiced law ut Rutland.
n the Vermont Senate he has taken . lead
ng part in framing legislation to solve the
railway problem and has given much study
to the question.

Hints For Horse Owners.

Gin keeping horse fat there is as
much in the driver as in the fccd." said
a stable keeper recently. "A horse
well curried, and rubbcd with a WOODEN
rag aftcrward, is sure to make sleek
coated horse, and when well groomcd is,
we may say, half fed. A cross and
nervous driver will fill the horse with
fear and dread, and will rapidly run his
horse down. Use any animal kindly.
Always be firm and make it mind, but
never get excited, y cool-headcd
driver makes a long-hcadcd horse, .
